Hi Kathleen,

Thank-you (to Kathleen and everyone else) for checking out the crafts store
site.  I realized the edges of the side border were a little rough...the
original was a dark brown colour, and I used Paint Shop Pro's colour fill
tool to change that.  Then I used the paintbrush to smooth the edges out
"by hand".  I'm not sure how to make them smoother.  I am by no means a
graphic artist or full-fledged web designer, so my attempts are prolly a
bit crude!  I need to work on the tables as well, like you say - I tend to
design for the monitor I've got (and that's a small one).  As for
validation, I didn't get any major errors, but just little things that I
don't really understand - maybe I'm using the wrong doctype? (4.0
Transitional).  Here are some examples of validation errors:


Error at line 7:
   <STYLE>
         required attribute "TYPE" not specified


Error at line 20:
   <ul>
      document type does not allow element "UL" here; missing one of "APPLET",
          "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag


I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve
http://www.execulink.com/~smlib/cat1.html/: 

     404 File Not Found 

I checked out your Splendid Slippers site as well, and found it to be very
interesting with an eye-catching design!  The colours really *pop*.
